Important Safety
Information
Read this manual and the operation and safety instructions included with your implement and/or controller
carefully before installing the SmarTrax™ system.
• Follow all safety information presented within this manual.
• If you require assistance with any portion of the installation or service of your Raven equipment, contact
your local Raven dealer for support.
• Follow all safety labels affixed to the SmarTrax system components. Be sure to keep safety labels in good
condition and replace any missing or damaged labels. To obtain replacements for missing or damaged
safety labels, contact your local Raven dealer.
When operating the machine after installing the SmarTrax system, observe the following safety measures:
• Be alert and aware of surroundings.
• Do not operate the SmarTrax system or any agricultural equipment while under the influence of alcohol or
an illegal substance.
• Remain in the operator’s position in the machine at all times when SmarTrax is engaged.
• Disable SmarTrax when existing the operator’s seat and machine.
• Do not drive the machine with SmarTrax enabled on any public road.
• Determine and maintain a safe working distance from other individuals. The operator is responsible for
disabling SmarTrax when the safe working distance has diminished.
• When starting the machine for the first time after installing SmarTrax, be sure that all persons stand clear in
case a hose has not been properly tightened.
• The machine must remain stationary and switched off during SmarTrax installation or maintenance.
NOTICE
WARNING

Hydraulic Safety
• Raven Industries recommends that appropriate protective equipment be worn at all times when working on
the hydraulic system.
• Never attempt to open or work on a hydraulic system with the equipment running. Care should always be
taken when opening a system that has been previously pressurized.
• When disconnecting the hydraulic hoses or purging is required, be aware that the hydraulic fluid may be
extremely hot and under high pressure. Caution must be exercised.
• Any work performed on the hydraulic system must be done in accordance with the machine manufacturer’s
approved maintenance instructions.
• When installing SmarTrax hydraulics or performing diagnostics, maintenance, or routine service, ensure
that precautions are taken to prevent any foreign material or contaminants from being introduced into the
machine’s hydraulic system. Object or materials that are able to bypass the machine’s hydraulic filtration
system will reduce performance and possibly damage the SmarTrax valve.
Electrical Safety
• Always verify that the power leads are connected to the correct polarity as marked. Reversing the power
leads could cause severe damage to the equipment.
• Ensure that the power cable is the last cable to be connected.

Preparing for Installation
Before installing the SmarTrax system, park the machine where the ground is level, clean, and dry. Turn off the
machine and leave it turned off for the duration of the installation process. Bleed pressure from the hydraulic
system by loosening the hydraulic fittings slowly, where applicable.
During the installation process, follow good safety practices. Be sure the carefully read the instructions in this
manual as you complete the installation process.
Recommendations
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing or operating the SmarTrax system
for the first time, at the start of the season, or when moving the SmarTrax system to another machine:
• Ensure the machine’s hydraulic filters have been recently changed and there are no issues with the
machine’s hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic
hoses, etc.).
• Ensure the machine’s hydraulic valve is using fresh oil and debris is flushed from the hydraulic hoses,
valves, and filters.
Raven Industries recommends the following best practices when installing the SmarTrax system:
• Use part numbers to identify the parts.
• Do not remove the plastic wrap from a part until it is necessary for installation.
• Do not remove plastic caps from a part until it is necessary for installation.
Point of Reference
The instructions in this manual assume that you are standing behind the machine, looking toward the cab.

Install the Case IH Interface Box
FIGURE 1. Case IH Interface Cable Connected to the Case Interface Box
1. Connect the existing Case steering control cables to the Case interface box (P/N 063-0173-038).
Note: The steering control cables are located behind the right-rear corner of the seat, under the fuse
panel cover.

in the fuse panel location.
Install the SmarTrax Node
Mount the SmarTrax Node
FIGURE 3. Node Mounting Location
1. Remove the plastic molding behind the seat by removing the nuts and bolts used to secure it.
2. Install the node mounting bracket (P/N 107-0172-084) in the tapped holes on the back wall of the cab using
four M6 hex bolts (P/N 311-0070-010), four washers (P/N 313-2300-009), and four 5/16” lock washers.
Important: Install the washers on the bottom bolts between the wall and the
mounting plate to level the node. The mounting plate must be within +/-
2° of level to the wall for the SmarTrax system to operate properly.
Note:
Install the node mounting bracket so that the cable connectors of the node (P/N 063-0173-228)
face the operators seat when installed.

Cab Component Installation
FIGURE 4. SmarTrax Node Installed
3. Mount the SmarTrax node to the node mounting bracket using three 3/8”-16 zinc flanged lock nuts
(P/N 312-1001-164).
Node Mounting Locations
FIGURE 5. Node Mounting
When choosing the location for the SmarTrax node, consider the following points:
• Mount the SmarTrax node inside the machine’s cab on a flat, level surface for proper performance and
cable connection.
• One of the six numbered direction arrows on the node must be oriented in the direction of forward vehicle
travel, one arrow pointing straight up, and two of the arrows parallel to the ground.
Note: Make a note of the number of the arrow that is oriented in the direction of forward vehicle travel.
This number will be needed during the SmarTrax calibration process.
• The node mounting location must not create tripping hazards.
• Mount the node in a location where it will not be kicked or jarred during normal equipment operation.
• The location must allow cable routing to avoid crimping or damaging the cables or the node connections.
• Securely fasten the node using bolts or screws through at least two of the three mounting holes. When
mounted properly, the node should not become loose or rotate.

Install the Node Harness
FIGURE 6. Node Harness Installed on the Node
1. Install the two large, rectangular connectors of the node harness (P/N 115-4001-127) into the correct ports
of the node, tightening the bolts on the harness connectors to secure the connections.
Note: The connectors should be pointing toward the operator’s seat.
2. Connect the round, 37-pin connector from the node harness to the 37-pin port of the Case interface box
(P/N 063-0173-038).
FIGURE 7. Machine’s CAN System Connection
3. Connect the CAN connector to the machine’s existing CAN system.
Note: For easier cable routing, the machine’s CAN cable can be disconnected from the connector in the
side panel and routed to the fuse panel location as shown in Figure 8 above.

FIGURE 8. DGPS OUT Connected to Console Receiver Connection
4. Route and connect the DGPS OUT connector to the console’s DGPS connector.
5. Connect the CASE GPS connection and the DGPS IN connection from the node harness cable together.
6. Loop and tie-off the ENABLE cable connection, securing it with plastic cable ties as necessary.
Note: The ENABLE connector is not used in the SmarTrax system. Ensure the cable is secured away
from moving parts and heat sources.
Check the Machine’s Flow Switch
Configuration
Note: A change to the flow switch in Case IH Patriot Steering-Ready machines causes the disengage
signal to not change state. Complete the following steps to ensure the disengage signal is fully
functional.
